Boss (2011–2012): Season 2, Episode 3 - Ablution - full transcript

Man: Ladies and gentlemen,
Tom Kane!

- ( Gunshots )
- Man ♪2: Shots fired! Get me an ambulance now!

- ( Sirens blaring )
- Ron: At 4:38 this afternoon,

an assassination attempt was made,
and Chicago Police Department

is pursuing any and all leads as we speak.

- You need to do something!
- What kind of man sends his own daughter to jail?

Don't you fuckin' dare to judge my actions.

Ian: If you wanna get back at him
or make him pay in any way,

you can't do it from the bottom
of a glue tube in county jail.

Rick: Kane explicitly forbade
you from speaking to press.

This is a gift from the gods.



We'd be crazy not to squeeze
it for all it's worth.

Seems that Dr. Harris
didn't disappear after all.

What?

Am I imagining things or did you
call me two weeks ago from Arizona?

- I was on sabbatical.
- Sabbatical or exile, Dr. Harris?

The Lennox Gardens vote is on.

Would a promissory note towards

your reelection campaign
help our cause here?

Mona: What in God's name
happened to you?

You're not standing here
but for my generosity.

We can talk off the record, I hope?

Do you know anything about
Kane seeing a Dr. Ella Harris?

I don't understand.
Are you saying he's sick?

Muscle rigidity, whole-body
tremors... it's progressing.



- Tom: Hallucinations have been minimal.
- Boss?

Dr. Harris:
Mr. Mayor, you have to know

your best days are behind you.

Mayor Kane cannot have
such unchecked power.

( Chamber murmuring )

I thought I taught you a lesson.

Change... whether we have
the wherewithal to make it.

For on my watch at Lennox
Gardens, mistakes were made.

Motion to vote.

There's a community there,

not just a record
of administrative blunders.

It won't go away with
an architectural face-lift.

I wanna make sure
this project turns out right.

- Perhaps you should come work for me.
- What?

- Tom?
- Who let him in to see my wife before I do?

Ian: I spoke with the
warden and parole board

about the possibility
of house arrest for Emma.

They seemed willing to consider it
in light of family circumstance.

Doctor: The ballistic trauma caused
a severe pulmonary laceration.

- Did...
- What?

Did you do this to me?

( Organ music playing )

Priest: Have mercy on me, God,
in Your kindness.

In Your compassion, blot out my offense.

O wash me more and more from my guilt

and cleanse me from my sin.

My offenses truly I know them;

My sin is always before me.

O see, in guilt I was born,

a sinner I was conceived.

Morning, sir.

A fucking nightmare, this thing.

Hopefully you won't have
to wear it much longer.

- How's Mrs. Kane feeling?
- Improved.

- Budget projections.
- On your desk.

- My daughter?
- The sheriff will drop her off at 7:00.

I've cleared your evening.

She's been authorized for
visits to her NA meetings

and I've emailed you
the contact information

of her parole officer Dave Hoffman.

I thought you might like
to speak with him personally.

He'll be in charge of her monthly tests.

When can I expect to hear from
the Superintendent of Police?

- Man: Morning, Mr. Mayor.
- It appears the Cook County State's Attorney

will be point on the shooting
investigation, given its high profile.

Doyle.
When's he coming?

He said he's available
later this afternoon,

but would prefer to meet at his office.

( Chuckles )

Here.
( Laughing )

10 minutes.

Doyle:
"You're a disease.

If I see you on the street,
I will fuck you up.

I will fuck your daughter.
I will fuck your wife."

So you have reason to believe

that she might have been the target?

Not yet, no.
It's possible, though.

"You're a parasite of lies
and I am your worst enemy."

Hundreds of these.

And all have been dealt with
by the proper authorities.

So unless you're telling me
that you have proof

that one of those troglodytes shot my wife,

I implore you to get to your point, Jeff.

My point, Tom,

is that you're not exactly
short on enemies.

There was a time, was there not,

when I could count you among them?

You were cleared.

I repent.
I've moved on.

Have you?

The ultimate objective here

isn't merely prosecution, it's conviction.

Whoever did this cannot, on my watch,

get off on a technicality.

- Time must be taken...
- My wife nearly died.

And while she relearns how to breathe,

I'm a prisoner in my own home,

shuttled to work every day by armed guards,

strapped into a vise every
time I wanna step outside,

and you have the gall to sit there,

reciting the ramblings of the deranged.

Why hasn't the shooter been found?

Lack of physical evidence at the scene

and the inordinate number of
people who hate you personally

or hate what you do politically.

We're exploring all we can
as quickly as we can.

That said, if there is anything
that could have bearing...

moves you've made, conflicts,
entanglements... it would help to hear them.

Conflicts,
entanglements, moves...

you've just described my job.

And in 20 years, no one's
ever shot at me for it.

Well, now someone has.

( Heart monitor beeping )

( Gasping )

( Crying )

God damn it.

I don't anticipate any hardball questions
coming to you, but if they do...

I pivot back to you...
strength, character, courage.

Relax, Ben.
We've been here before.

- This is national.
- It's still a camera.

You think the kids are up for this?

They're the whole reason
we're doing it here.

Do we really need
to go over all this again?

No.

You look beautiful.

Treasurer, Mrs. Zajac.
I'm Sandra Klein.

- Sandra. Ben, please.
- Maggie.

- I love that suit.
- Thank you.

You look great.
You feeling okay?

I hope this hasn't been too disruptive.

Well, I admit I was a little resistant

to having my home taken over,
but it's been pretty painless.

I'm glad to hear it.

So, we'll start with the two of you,

- then cut and bring in the kids.
- Sounds good.

Maggie, can you talk about
what you were feeling

in the moments surrounding the shooting?

You can't really put it
into words, the feelings.

It all happened so quickly.

I heard a crack.

Mrs. Kane fell,

and then Ben was on top of me.

Sandra: Did he say anything?
Do you remember?

( Voice breaks )
"You're safe."

"You're safe."

- Sorry.
- Sandra: Don't be sorry.

- Do you need a minute?
- No.

( Chatter )

( Car horn blaring )

- Feels light.
- Shit's slow.

Sounds like a personal problem.

Yeah, well, we all got problems.

Them Radiohead, beanie-wearing
motherfuckers get to rolling...

Is that right?

What I hear...
the mayor got plans.

Look at you.

Young nigga get himself a suit,

reads the paper, and suddenly
he's wise to how shit works.

All I'm saying is if you
think your cut light now...

Son, your time will come.

Meanwhile, don't go trying to get
in shit that ain't your domain.

You know what I mean?

( Car engine starts )

Darius: Hey, T.

- Hey, let's see if this...
- T.

Damn, coz.

Hey, man, I need a place to crash, man.

You need a motherfuckin' bath.

- Bad.
- Yeah, that, too.

What about your girl?

- What about her?
- She out.

She didn't call you?

Pssh.

I mean, you know,
she not exactly reachable.

Man, man...
but listen, man,

you gonna help me or not, man?

What the fuck you done
got yourself into now?

I just need a place to crash.
That's all, man.

- And this is with, what, 20% Section Eight?
- ( TV playing )

- 15.
- We need to look at upping subsidized housing to 25%.

- If we tie it to a work requirement...
- That's not viable.

25 triggers additional funding from HUD.

That coupled with additional
cost-cutting measures...

Ian: The number McGantry
came in with is reasonable.

And that conclusion's based on?

This report from the Community
Development Commission

and this one here from City Planning.

Sir, there's no reason not to move
ahead with the proposal as is.

"Nothing is irreparable except a willing
capitulation to the status quo."

Your words, sir.

And this is exactly that.

Now, if you wanna go that way, fine,

but then I can't see
any reason for me to be here.

Your alternative?

Open up the project to competitive bids.

Make it clear to the usual suspects

there will be no skim,
no graft, no ghost hires,

then use the savings
to better the community...

a health clinic, a technology center.

There's no tax revenue in a health clinic.

And what's the point in rehabbing the place

if it's just gonna stay
a ghetto for poor people?

These sorts of projects
raise people out of poverty,

which broadens the tax base.

Competitive bidding is a declaration
of war against McGantry,

who just happens to be the single
largest contributor to the mayor's PAC.

And those usual suspects?

They're the same people pulling
votes for us on election day.

You think they do that out of
the goodness of their hearts?

Thanks for that.

Maybe when we're through here,

you can explain
how to play Tic-tac-toe.

Sir, displacing the residents
of Lennox Gardens

will affect your support in the
African-American community across the board.

And votes aside, the city's budget
has been running at a deficit

for near a decade now because
of projects like this one.

Something has to give.

I'm not suggesting that we open

all projects citywide to this process.

I'm talking about one project,

doing this one thing differently.

And if it works, maybe you've
got a new way forward.

( TV continues )

- ( Volume increases )
- Sandra: Do you remember what ran through your mind

in the moment you heard the shots?

I can't say there was
much thought involved.

It was a gut instinct,
really, to protect my wife.

- ( TV turns off )
- ( Remote clatters )

Is there some misunderstanding
about this campaign?

Some belief that it actually
bears autonomy?

- No, sir.
- Good.

I'll talk with McGantry
about cutting costs.

In the meantime, bump up
Section Eight to 25%,

see what that gets us.

Yes, sir.

Hey.

Hey.

You look good, relaxed.

So, look, I'm...

I have a lot that I need to apologize for,

and I'm grateful you're
giving me a chance to...

What do you want, Ben?

I want you back.

Rick knows the drill.
You'll be fine.

I fired him.

The guy's got his head up his ass.

No idea how to run a competitive race.

- Have you been watching the numbers?
- No.

Mm.

Walsh is making a play for Cook County.

Twice as many events in town
in the last few weeks

than the whole of her last run.

She's within five.

I'm out of the game.

You're quitting?

Everything?

I don't believe you.

Believe what you want.

Yeah, there's no way you'd walk away.

It's who you are.

How are your kids?

They're fine.

They're great, actually.

Come on.

You can't tell me you don't miss it.

Don't call me again.

It's been awfully quiet
without you at home.

It'll be nice to have
some life in the house again.

How was the meeting with Doyle?

No need to concern yourself about that.

Just focus on getting better.

Any idea who the shooter is?

No, not really.

It's not likely that you were the target.

You're safe here.

- And you?
- Just a precaution.

They've stepped up my security.

No need to worry about me.

- How can I not?
- I'm fine.

Emma's coming home tonight.

I've arranged for house arrest.

- ( Grunts )
- Putting her in her old room.

When was this decision made?

You'll need help when you return.

She can provide that for you.

Giving her an opportunity
to contribute to the family

could be a good thing for all of us.

I'd suggest

you temper your expectations, Tom...

about everything.

Emma...

Thank you.

( Door slams )

( Rummaging, thudding )

- Emma, I've got your...
- ( Glass shatters )

( Sighs )

Well, somebody has to have
an in at Doyle's office.

- Yeah?
- I need your okay.

- What?
- Garfield Ridge community meeting

on the Lennox Gardens relocation.

Yeah?
This my only option?

No, but that's the best one.

- ( Knocking at door )
- Yeah.

CPD released the file
on Ezra Stone's murder.

- Well, it's about damn time.
- Man: Can I get a yea or nay on this

before you fall down the rabbit hole again?

Yeah. Sorry.
Wait, hold on.

Is this even the same meeting?

- Same neighborhood.
- Oh, you're killing me.

- Go with Driscoll.
- You sure don't like selling newspapers, do you?

Fine. Fuck.
Use the screamer.

- Get out.
- Forced entry.

Place was ransacked,
showed signs of a struggle.

Shocker of all shockers...

looks like it's a botched burglary.

( TV playing )

( Changing channels )

( TV turns off )

( Distant chatter, car horn honking )

Honey?

I answered your phone by mistake.

- Sorry about that.
- Who is it?

She wouldn't say.
She has an accent, though.

This is Kitty.

How's our girl?

On her feet.
She'll be home soon.

I miss our meals together.

I'd like you to take a look at the numbers

on the Lennox Gardens project.

Your proposal.

Why don't we get right down to it, then?

It's a little higher than
it needs to be right now.

I wasn't aware it differed that greatly

from any previous proposal we've
ever submitted to your office.

Which is the problem.

We hire the subcontractors you tell us to.

Maybe you should take this up with them.

I will.

But let's not pretend that your
costs aren't inflated as well.

Wouldn't dream of it.

Listen, I'm sure we can find
an acceptable compromise.

Say, instead of cost plus 50,
maybe cost plus 20?

You know, I've always admired your ability

to separate the business from the personal.

This isn't.

Well, I'm glad to hear that.

It would be unfortunate if our symbiosis

were threatened by petty matters, no?

Unfortunate indeed.

Excuse me for a minute.

Sir, I don't mean to bother you.

I just wanted to say we're real happy

that Mrs. Kane is going
to be all right.

We were all praying for her.

Thank you.
That's very kind.

I'd shake your hand
if... but...

- Right.
- Good luck to you.

You, too.

Did you get it out?

Look, I'd rather it not come to this,

but if you're unwilling to work with me,

I can open up the process
to competitive bids.

So, this is about the reelect?

It's about a new approach to a unique case.

It's a run-down
housing project, Tom.

I hope this isn't some posttraumatic
search for absolution.

The riots in the Gardens were a tragedy,

but they were 20 years ago.

I need a lower number.

I'll have my guys take a look at it,

see if they can work something out.

( Bell dings )

( Button clicks )

( Bell dings )

You know the Gardens aren't
coming down without a fight.

It's gonna get ugly.

Too many people got too much to lose.

But you know all about that, don't you?

You know what I know?

You and Kane are cut from the same cloth.

Only real difference... you're
powerless to get a damn thing done.

( Bell dings )

( Crying )

Pssh.

Darlene!

Come get this damn kid.

All right, coz.

Here you have it.

Welcome home.

Yeah, you're welcome.
She's all yours.

Lock up.

Sir.

How was lunch?

Sorry?

Competitive bids.

How long will it take?

Ian on computer: I can pull together
a list of development firms,

- start making some phone calls.
- Mona: I got it.

Too much work for one person.

Might as well divide and conquer.

- I said I've got it.
- Look, I can be an asset here.

I spent two years with Ted Schachter
before Driscoll's office.

I've seen your resume.

If I'm being kind, it seemed embellished.

And speaking of Driscoll, she's all
over my call sheet and the mayor's.

If you're not gonna sack up and
tell her yourself, I'll have to.

Please excuse me.

Gwendie:
Miss O'Neil.

- ( Door closes )
- Sorry about the logistics of the meet.

- You know how the trail can be.
- Not a problem.

- Kitty, thank you so much for taking the time.
- Senator.

- Anything else you need, ma'am?
- No, thank you, Gwendie.

Have a seat.

( Sighs )

So, she's headed back to Springfield

to manage my Senate seat,

and I need some heavy hitters
out here on the trail.

Okay, just to be clear with you,

I'm not interested in providing oppo
research for you or anyone else.

I don't know what happened
with Kane, and I don't care.

Your past has no bearing here.

Right, but my crossing the aisle

would be political suicide.

Let's be frank.

Social issues aside, it's pretty much
a race to the middle these days.

I'm confident any ideological
concerns you may have

can be worked out
to our mutual satisfaction,

because unlike most men I
know, I'm open to new ideas.

You just need a fresh start, Kitty.

I'm offering you parity.

This is a team, not a fiefdom.

You'd be a partner, not a servant.

Just tell me you'll consider it.

He had his checkup.
The doctor's waiting for you.

Thanks.

Take a deep breath.

( Breathing deeply )

How've you been feeling?

Well, considering.

Any physical symptoms?

Tremors?
Muscle rigidity?

Not since that night at the hospital.

When you skipped a dose?

Yeah.

Well, that's good news.

Stress tends to exacerbate the symptoms,

but I'm glad to know we're keeping
them at bay at this dosage level.

- And what about your personality?
- ( Slurping )

Any shifts?

Usually I'd speak to
family members about this,

but under the circumstances...

Yeah, hardly the proper time to gauge

that particular symptom, don't you think?

- Still.
- ( Slurping )

Same old prick I've always been.

Any hallucinations?

As a matter of fact...

- You're having one now?
- ( Slurping )

Pardon?

Auditory or visual?

( Slurping )

Both.

Do you feel they're hindering
your ability to function?

Tell her the truth, Tom.

You're losing your damn mind.

Nothing I can't handle.

Ian: I'm not here to make
your life difficult.

- Yeah? Then why are you here?
- Mayor Kane has concerns.

- I'm here to express them.
- Yeah, and you've done that.

So what now?

I'm supposed to clear
every word through you?

You are.

( Scoffs ) This is insane.

I'm not sure how things
worked with my predecessor,

but my voice is the voice of the mayor.

- Wow.
- I'm sure we can come to some sort of compromise.

There's none to be had.

The mayor's support is
contingent on this new protocol.

What does he expect?
I've been iced out since the primary.

Then we get traction and you waltz
in here with your fucking protocol?

I have a race to win.
I don't have time for this shit.

Kane's gotta make up
his damn mind... in or out.

This after-the-fact bullshit...
this isn't gonna fly.

I think what Ben means to say

is that we are grateful
for the mayor's support.

Whatever we can do to further
his agenda, we are happy to do.

Ben spent a fair amount of
time at the Housing Authority.

- Maybe he can be useful...
- I'm sorry.

I'm not clear what you have
to do with any of this.

She's my campaign manager, and you're
gonna deal with her from now on.

If you'll excuse us.

Apologies.
I wasn't aware.

None necessary.

- Ian: We'll be in touch.
- Mm-hmm.

Are you sure?

You don't want the job?

Fuck, it's us against the world.

We might as well make it official, right?

I'm gonna tuck the kids in.

You've got fund-raising
calls to make.

Mona:
This is the most promising...

Young and Mortensen.

In addition to all the requirements,

they've included Silver Level
LEED certification.

- What about McGantry?
- Nothing new from them yet.

If you'll notice, Y and M were able
to cut costs in a number of key ways.

What's your take on the kid?

Who?

Mr. Ian Todd.

Oh.

Um, he's eager, driven.

Green, though.

He has a lot to learn, certainly smart
enough to do it if he cares to.

An interesting background.

Work in the private sector.

Could be useful on a project like this.

He'll fit in.

I wonder what it's like

to take the shape of the space you're in.

Not enough water in the world.

This project's certainly more complicated

than anything he's dealt with.

Might not be the best proving ground.

I've gotta get a new number from McGantry.

Keep the kid in the loop.

He's got potential.

Doyle: Is there some reason
you neglected to mention him?

( Sighs )

Truth be told, I forgot about it.

It seems your security team forgot as well.

There's no report
of this altercation on file.

Do you know who the
gentleman in the photo is?

He is an acquaintance of my daughter's.

I'm assuming there's estrangement there,

particularly after her arrest.

Do you have reason to believe
she or anyone in her life

would be interested in doing you harm?

He was concerned
about her well-being.

I bring this up to you only because

if there is some underworld
element in play here,

we should be made aware.

I can't imagine he had
anything to do with it.

Well, we'd still like to
identify and interview him.

As I said earlier, it's essential that
we shine a light into every corner.

The shots came from 700 yards away,

and you bring me
a two-bit drug dealer.

Fucking embarrassing.

You can see yourself out.

( Sighs )

Come in.

- The prodigal one.
- Not exactly.

Don't hover.

Horror show in here.

I'm clearly lost without you.

I doubt that.

Hmm.

See this shit?

Isn't this from that meeting last
year about the blizzard response?

I yelled at some son of a bitch over at
the "Sentinel," but it doesn't matter.

They've printed a retraction
no one's gonna read.

- ( Sighs )
- Damage done.

So, you're here to make it official?

You had to know it would come to this.

Should never have let you
go, tenacious as you are.

Can't begin to tell you how grateful I am.

Not sure how I can ever repay you.

Mm, Kane's right-hand man?

I'm sure we can think of something.

And betray the mayor's trust?
Sure, that's likely.

Whoo.

Tom:
How are you feeling?

- ( Sighs )
- ( Glass bangs )

Emma,

I know this situation is not your ideal.

I'd like to think
we could at least...

Emma, please.

- I need to talk with you.
- Well, I don't wanna hear it.

It's about your friend,

the one from the clinic.

He's a person of interest
in the investigation.

What, Darius?

Why would they even think that?

Well, he came to see me, before.

What did he say?

He wanted me to get you out.

Do you love him?

Emma, please, I have to know.

I have to know what you told him.

I have to know what he knows about me.

You.

Well, Darius doesn't know anything.

But me?
Ha, I knew better.

I am so stupid, so unbelievably stupid,

to trust you.

This house is a prison, and don't
you dare try to pretend otherwise.

My dear.

Babe.

Hello.

- I wasn't expecting you, was I?
- No.

I'm sorry.

Will you indulge the intrusion?

Glad to see you looking so well.

A woman
of your fortitude...

I had no doubt you'd
make a speedy recovery.

Long road ahead yet.

Well, I hope it's not too long

before you can resume your duties.

I don't have the rapport with your husband

that I do with you.

A man's ego can be cumbersome,

but I have faith the two of you
will warm to each other in time.

Well, I'm not sure we have time.

Did you know he's opening up the Gardens

to a competitive bidding process?

I'm choosing not to concern myself

with these matters at present.

I'm sure you can understand why.

Yes, of course.

It's for appearances only, I assume.

- ( Sighs )
- That's what it seems, anyway.

But some reassurances would be appreciated.

You're going to have to talk
to my husband about that.

Of course.

Is this a fucking joke?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but
this is exactly the same shit

McGantry sent over weeks ago, is it not?

Mostly, yes.

He removed a line item for courier fees.

- Saved a couple thousand.
- Courier fees.

Insatiable son of a bitch
thinks he can just...

I always loved how clean it seemed

when the snow would fall.

But it's spring now.

So wash it all away.

Yes, that's right.

Sir?

Soon it'll be summer,

then fall,

then it's 10 years later.

These people have waited long enough.

Your guy...
this Young and Mortensen.

- Mona: Yes, sir.
- Think they can actually hit that number?

Assuming you can deal with the subs.

Pull the trigger.

Ian's not wrong.

A reversal like this...
there will be blowback.

We should set some meetings for the
aldermen whose contracts are affected.

Ortiz'll squawk the loudest.
Start with him.

Ian: What about Moretti?
You want me to brief him?

- I'd rather handle that.
- I'll make the announcement.

Mona, can you give us a minute?

Yes, sir.

- ( Door opens )
- And close the door, please.

Sit.

How are you and Mona getting along?

Fine.

You weren't on board,

moving away from McGantry.

I'm wherever you are, sir.

- I want you on Mona.
- Sir?

Paying close attention.

- Do you have concerns?
- Quite the opposite.

- I think you can learn a lot from her.
- Of course.

I'll study her closely

as long as she's here.

- Meaning?
- Oh, I just figured she was...

A perfect way to position yourself
for a run is all I meant.

Figured she'd want
to take on Ross next year.

I hired you both for a reason.

Never question my judgment.

That's all.

J-Just a minute.

- I heard you were out.
- Sorry I didn't...

- No.
- It's been hard.

It's cool.
It's cool.

I'm glad to see you, though.

You, too.

I've been worried.

I could tell.

Shavon... that was you?

She took care of you?

- Thanks.
- Okay.

You shouldn't be here.

( Scoffs )

I see how it is.

You do? How is it?

Back in Daddy's house,
trying to be a good girl.

Don't be like that.

I got nothing left because of you.

Do you get that?

I know. I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.

Listen, you have to get out of Chicago.

My father, he doesn't allow loose ends.

Now I'm a loose end?

- Look, I know this is all my fault.
- Wow.

I should...

Listen, you just...
you have to go, please.

Come with me.

I can't.

Why not?

Please, just...
just go.

( Over TV ) I'm Ben Zajac,
and I approve this message.

Announcer: Paid for by
"Zajac for Illinois."

- Sir? Lunch.
- Oh, great.

You know what? You can just put
it right there on the table.

Woman:
Oh, I love this one.

You look so distinguished.

Everybody thinks so.

Yeah? Everybody?

I posted it on Facebook.

( Both laugh )

- Well, thank you for that.
- Of course.

Well, enjoy your falafel.

- Hey, Patty.
- Yes, sir?

What do you want?

- Me?
- Mm-hmm. Yeah, you.

Come on in.
Close the door.

Have a seat.

You've been working so hard lately.

What is it you're hoping for

if I win?

When you win.

( Chuckles ) Yeah, that, too.

I don't know.

Handle correspondence maybe?

I mean, I wanna go
to grad school eventually,

but I'm still
trying to figure...

( Giggles )

I can't tell you how long
I've been thinking about this.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

( Zipper zings )

Ooh, there you go.

Kitty:
God, you're relentless.

Some say that's my most endearing quality.

Some who?

Well, you, I was hoping.

This all seems on the level.

Except there isn't a shred of police
work done after the initial report.

But don't you think Kane would
be pushing the PD on this?

I really don't know.

You should probably ask
someone who works for him.

I'm asking you.

I don't know...
it feels wrong.

It doesn't feel wrong to you?

I don't know what you want me to say.

These things happen.

- ( Heart monitor beeping )
- These seemingly random things.

Now I'm going to insert the cannula.

Kitty: I understand wanting
to find meaning in it all,

but sometimes it's just

what it seems to be...

a mistake, an unfortunate event.

Doctor: You may feel
some slight cramping

when the suction starts.

Kitty:
Sometimes you just...

you just have to let it go,

move on.

Nothing there, Sam.

Well, you look really nice.

Thanks.

New job, actually.
First day.

I gotta go.

New job?
Who for?

Walsh.

Wait. What?
Are you... wait a second.

That's...

how the hell did that happen?

I gotta go.

Okay, but this isn't...
I'm not done with you.

- Oh, really?
- Yeah, really.

( Scoffs )

I'm gonna call you.

As long as it's not about Stone.

Tom: I'd like to thank you all for
coming on such short notice.

- ( Cameras clicking )
- I have a brief statement.

Today, it is my great pleasure

to announce that we've taken
a substantial step forward

on the road to a revitalized
and reimagined Lennox Gardens.

From the start, I have been
determined to approach

this project from a new perspective.

Come clean, Tom.

Wash it all away.

To that end, we have employed

the development firm
of Young and Mortensen.

Creative and driven,
they have offered a vision

more compelling than my wildest
dreams could have conjured.

They are efficient and committed,

and I look forward to a long
and fruitful relationship.

We're gonna slow this train down

to a motherfuckin' crawl.

Tom: It is no secret
the fabric of this city

is woven with threads
of venality and honor alike,

but I will offer this message
to those who would seek

exorbitant profit
from this project...

an honest day's work

will garner an honest day's wage,

but avarice will not be tolerated.

Greed stops here.

It is a new day for Lennox Gardens.

Spring has come to Chicago.

- Thank you.
- ( Reporters clamoring )

( Sniffs )

- I don't know what to think.
- Can't Jason have my peas?

- I don't want them.
- Jason has his own peas.

But this is a good thing, right?

What you wanted?

( Keyboard clicks )

Did you see his press conference?

- Bor-ing.
- Don't be rude.

Jason, eat your peas.

You think he's good for it?

I want to, obviously, but...

there are these moments
where he seems elsewhere.

( Phone ringing )

At first I thought
it was some sort of test,

like he was playing me
or something, but...

but now I think he might be
legitimately shaken by all this.

- ( Ringing continues )
- Sean: Before I forget, the gas company came out.

Something with the main line. We had to
clear the house for a couple hours.

Mona:
But they fixed it, right?

Alissa: Can we talk about
kid stuff now?

Mona: All right, bitsy,
your turn.

- Today I blocked three kicks.
- Mm!

- Sam only blocked one. She got scored on, too.
- ( Ringing continues )

Hello?

Who?

Thanks.

They got him, Stoney...

the man who shot her.

They got him.
